(09/12/06) MINEOLA ? On day two of the second-degree murder trial of Martin Heidgen, defense attorneys hinted at the possibility of a mistrial.

Heidgen stands accused of killing two while driving drunk going the wrong way on the Meadowbrook Parkway on July 2, 2005. Limo driver Stanley Rabinowitz and 7-year-old passenger Katie Flynn died in the nearly head-on collision. Officials say both were killed instantly and Flynn?s head was decapitated. Tuesday?s testimony from a medical examiner discussed the means he used to identify Flynn due to her decapitation, which is a topic defense attorneys say pretrial judges ruled off limits. Jurors also heard testimony from a NYC corrections officer and a member of the Freeport Police Department.

Five of Flynn?s relatives, also passengers in the limo, suffered life-threatening injuries. Attending the trial and being so close to Heidgen, they say, has been extremely difficult.
